Ball linear guide or Roller guide?

Ball linear guides and roller linear guides each have their own advantages and disadvantages, and the choice of which one is better depends on the specific application requirements. ‌

Ball guides and roller guides have significant differences in structure, performance, and application scenarios. Ball guides achieve rolling motion through point contact between balls and guides, with high precision and speed, suitable for applications that require high precision and speed, such as automation equipment, machine tools, and robots. Roller guides achieve rolling motion through the linear contact between rollers and guides, and have high load-bearing capacity and rigidity. They are suitable for applications that require high loads and rigidity, such as heavy machinery and precision instruments.

In terms of performance, ball guides have a low coefficient of friction and rolling resistance, making them faster and suitable for high-speed motion. However, its load-bearing capacity is relatively small, making it suitable for applications with light or medium loads. Although roller guides have a slower speed, their larger contact area and higher load-bearing capacity make them suitable for heavy-duty applications, capable of withstanding greater torque and impact loads.

When making a choice, it should be determined based on specific needs. If high precision and high speed are required, ball guides are a better choice; If high load-bearing capacity and rigidity are required, roller guides may be more suitable.
